0737 CST OK this is it. We are coming up on a buy cycle time of 0738. Everything confirms that soon is a solid time to buy. I'd be buying soon even without the cycle.

0740 CST Order to buy 1 ZB at 110 27 just to get started.

0741 CST Changed above to 110 28. I'll allow for a move to 110 21. I think the danger here is we spike up to 111 08.
 
0744 CST I'm going with my cycle buy and I bought 2 ZB 110 30. Yeah I know, buying the high, but I'm counting on two things:

1) Follow through past the day's high.
2) My 0738 cycle buy.

I'm fairly confident that we will close the day higher, even if we get down to 110 21. My thoughts are that since this is small size for me, I might hold these and buy more 1 to 2 more times for a total of 6 lots.
 
Nice call... I couldn't bring myself to buy that close to the high, looking for more of a pullback, but we did get a nice little pop at exactly 38 past the hour.

Thanks. The trade is good for at least 2 ticks. Today it worked. I didn't get in soon enough though. I really wanted a better price.

Here is the chart.

0755 CST Long 4 ZN 107 200.

Looking for 2 more ZB at 110 24 or better.

Target on the way back up is 111 02, however, if I can get another pair of ZB's at 110 24 or better, I'll get out between 110 29 and 110 31.

0809 CST So much for buying another pair of ZB's. I may try to buy more ZN's at 107 200 if possible.

Will you hold through the 8:15 number?
 
0818 CST Still long on all. First target is 111 02 followed by 111 08 on the ZB. Equivalent on ZN.

Hoping for a run on stops above 111 02. Will exit quickly on any run.

Looking at Dow now for a buy.

I did, but I wasn't looking for anything from it. Obviously it was sort of favorable, but I think the bonds were looking for any excuse to trade higher.

The double 00's are such a trick place to be. I may exit all soon. Good enough trade.
